To shoot or not to shoot?

I think it depends on the gun. Old revolvers don't break nearly as easily as an auto loader can. P38's don't break like Lugers do - they are much stronger and have far fewer numbered parts. I don't shoot my expensive Lugers, but I see nothing wrong with shooting a $900 P38. They are pretty much indestructible, IMO.

How do you break a grip screw by shooting?

Or a rear toggle axle pin? These are huge - they look like they would be one of the stronger parts in the gun, no?
